Abstract

In Component-Based Software Development (CBSD), component testability and testing, is an important capability, which supports productivity and quality assurance. CBSD is increasingly being used to reduce the cost and time of software development. Therefore testability and testing of components is one of the most important factors in determining the quality and reusability of components in CBSD. Testability is an important quality indicator of Component-Based Systems (CBS). This paper introduces an innovative process for building testable components. In this paper we first discuss testability, the impact of inadequate testing and testing infrastructure which affect component quality.
